“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
– William Faulkner
In this new feature documentary, co-directors Hayley Gray and Elad Tzadok highlight community archives from across British Columbia to reveal some of what has been erased from the official record.
The people and places left out of traditional archives and museums are often determined by the dominant power. Local knowledge keepers are undoing these omissions and hand-fashioning a more inclusive history. Through a collage of personal interviews, archival footage, and deeply rooted memories, the past, present and future come together, fighting for a space where everyone is seen and everyone belongs.
History is what we all make of it.
